The design seems closely related to a group of both pile rugs and kelims (including tulus) which consist of a vertical series of stepped arches, each with a single central motif resembling a pair of ram’s horns. It is the simplicity of this ascending design which has led to them being described as mihrabs and the overall design as that of a prayer rug, which they may well be.
